Effects of frequency characteristics of reverberation time on listener envelopment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatial impression perceived in a listening space comprises at least two components: one is auditory (apparent) source width (ASW) and the other is listener envelopment (LEV). Both ASW and LEV are affected not only by temporal but also by spatial structures of reflections. It has been clarified that ASW for symphony music is significantly affected by low-frequency components of source signals and reflections, but not by their high-frequency components. The objective of this work is to investigate whether LEV is affected by the frequency characteristics of source signals and reverberation sounds, which are known to contribute to the creation of LEV. In this study, three experiments were performed to clarify the effects of reverberation time (RT) and its frequency characteristics on LEV. In contrast to the case of ASW, the experimental results show that RTs both at high and low frequencies affect LEV.

متن کاملAuditory Localization in Rooms: Acoustic Analysis and Behavior
In an ordinary room, reverberation and echoes in the signals reaching a listener’s ears influence auditory localization performance. The energy of the echoes and reverberation depends on the position of the listener in the room as well as on the position of the sound source relative to the listener. In this paper, the effects of echoes and reverberation are quantified through analysis of reverb...

Signal processing techniques allow us not only to compensate for the acoustics of a listening environment, but also to add special musical effects such as delay, echo, and reverb, if desired. The most common example is the audio equalizer that allows us to enhance the bass or treble content of an audio signal. What a listener hears in a room depends not only on the acoustics characteristics of ...

One aspect of hearing that has received relatively little attention by traditional psychophysicists is how echoes and reverberation in everyday spaces affect perception. In the ordinary world, echoes and reverberation are ubiquitous and influence the signals reaching the listener, the processing of these signals by the brain, and the resulting perception of both sound sources and the environmen...
